The Sensory-Regulation SLP Starter Kit: Transform Your Sessions in 30 Days

If you've ever had a child throw materials across your therapy room, refuse to sit down, or chew through their shirt collar while you're trying to work on articulation—and felt completely stuck on what to do—this guide is for you. Most SLPs weren't trained to handle the sensory and emotional dysregulation that shows up in our sessions every single day. We know how to target speech sounds and language goals, but when a child is melting down or checked out, none of that matters. We end up guessing: Is this sensory overload? An unmet need? Anxiety? Frustration? And because we're guessing, we try random strategies—chewy tubes, behavior charts, bribes—that don't actually address the root cause. Here's what you'll get in this guide: a clear, practical framework for identifying whether a behavior is rooted in sensory needs or emotional dysregulation, plus concrete strategies you can use immediately in your sessions. You'll learn how to modify your therapy environment, adjust routines, rethink seating, and choose interventions that match what the child actually needs—not just what the behavior looks like. No more throwing spaghetti at the wall. No more managing behaviors instead of doing your job. This isn't theory. It's the exact approach Jessie Ginsburg uses in her clinic with over 200 kids a week—where therapists are shocked by how few "big behaviors" they see, because they know how to support regulation from the start. If you're ready to stop feeling helpless when a child is dysregulated and start creating sessions where kids can actually learn, this guide will show you how.
